Review of 'The Reluctant Mr. Darwin' on 'Goodreads'

Darwin. Quammen. What's not to love?

I had this book for dessert, but recommend it as an appetizer. Maybe I'm not the right person to review this book: I'm already a bit of a Darwinhead, have already read Origin and at least one biography. I didn't read this to get something new, it was more for enjoyment. And enjoy I did. Quammen has distilled the complexity of Darwin's life but has preserved its richness.
